Malware uses LLMs to rank victims by their value

Original: Malware uses LLMs to rank victims by how much they're worth

Cisco Talos researchers report that the Volta infostealer uses large language models to appraise infected machines and prioritize victims based on how much money they are worth. The malware analyzes browser data, crypto wallets and other traces to decide which targets deserve deeper exploitation. Security commentators say it is an early, notable example of cybercriminals automating victim triage with AI models.

Why now: It is one of the first documented cases of malware using LLMs to score and prioritize victims, raising concerns about AI-driven cybercrime.
